The Heart of the Tundra


 


https://amzn.to/3VJMQcG

In the farthest reaches of the world, where frost bites deep and the stars themselves feel like distant, indifferent watchers — an ancient terror stirs beneath the ice.

For generations, the Moon-Serpent has slumbered in the frozen depths, its monstrous coils winding through the earth, its cursed blood seeping into the land. Now, a brutal lunar eclipse looms, and with it comes the promise of the serpent’s return. The world stands on the edge of a nightmare, and its only hope lies in the hands of a haunted hunter.

Kaelin Drenn has lived his life chasing shadows, a seasoned monster-slayer whose past is stained with blood and tragedy. His family, his village — everything he once loved was obliterated in a raid led by zealots obsessed with an ancient relic said to be bound to the Moon-Serpent’s heart. Now, driven by vengeance and the faint hope of saving the world from the same fate, Kaelin crosses the Tundra’s desolation to face a darkness no blade can conquer alone.

But Kaelin soon learns that the Moon-Serpent is not merely a beast to be hunted — it is a force older than gods and kings, a being whose influence has shaped history, madness, and myth. Its power feeds upon the cycles of the moon, growing with every waxing phase, bleeding into the minds of the living and the land itself. And its loyal followers, both human and inhuman, are gathering for the serpent’s inevitable rise.

In this frostbitten world:

As Kaelin forges uneasy alliances with ancient beings and forsaken mystics, including Lirael Frostbane, a centuries-old ice mage burdened with terrible knowledge, and Seraphis the Silent, a cursed wanderer with a blood bond to the serpent, he begins to question the very nature of power, vengeance, and legacy.

Will he destroy the Moon-Serpent and risk his own soul, or succumb to the ancient force’s promise of power and dominion over a dying world? The cost of failure is annihilation, and the price of victory may be far worse.

The Heart of the Tundra is an epic dark fantasy saga of vengeance, survival, ancient curses, and the thin line between man and monster. Set in a brutal, snow-choked land where the sun vanishes for months and the dead gods lie buried in the ice, this novel delivers a chilling, high-stakes adventure for fans of grimdark fantasy and cosmic horror.

If you enjoyed The Witcher, The Banner Saga, or The Call of Cthulhu, you’ll be swept away by the haunting beauty and relentless danger of The Heart of the Tundra.

Praise for Krishna Prasanth Guttikonda’s storytelling: "A masterful blend of atmospheric world-building, tortured heroes, and ancient terrors. The Tundra will freeze your heart and quicken your pulse."

Perfect for readers who crave:

Dare to venture into the Tundra. The serpent waits beneath the ice.
